Pizza!
Pizza is a takeaway favourite for
many and it is easy to see why.
This versatile dish can be meaty or
vegetarian and the golden yet gooey
cheese that often engulfs pizza is
truly delicious.
Many early ‘pizzas’ are documented
by various cultures. Essentially a
flatbread with various toppings.
Alongside this, the style has
developed over the years, most likely
starting with the focaccia, a flatbread
that was well known as far back as
Roman times.

It is widely believed that the modern
pizza, as we know it today, evolved
from similar flatbread dishes in the
18th and 19th century in Naples,
Italy. Today we can easily enjoy a
multitude of pizzas from the more
traditional Neapolitan style pizza
with its thin base, charred, light and
chewy crust and rich tomato sauce
to the Chicago style ‘deep dish’ pizza
layered high with cheese, pizza sauce
and, often, meaty toppings.
Whichever style of pizza you enjoy,
I am sure that you will like the
familiarity of the flavours and textures
that these recipes contain whilst also
being surprised and intrigued by
the variation on this popular, familiar
classic.
